Bonus cartoon! Safety Second


I can't think of a better way to celebrate July Fourth than with random cartoon violence.   So, with that, I give you "Safety Second" a Tom and Jerry cartoon from 1950, directed by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera.  Not one of the better Tom and Jerry's.  The subject matter kept this one off of TV for quite some time.   Enjoy!

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Yankee Doodle Bugs

In our never-ending efforts to be timely, this week we bring you Yankee Doodle Bugs, a 1954 Looney Tune from Friz Freleng.  I donm't have much to say about this one, except this note to trivia fans:  This is one of only two cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny's nephew, Clyde.   His other appearance was in His Hare Raising Tale, released three years earlier in 1951.   (He also appeared in a television special, but we don't count that).  Enjoy!
